4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, 24 Nov 2008

By	Foxylock (Ireland) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

You will have to look no further than this excellent guide its the complete A to Z of flowering shrubs. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a novice like myself this book will appeal to all.

For each shrub you get : its Latin name,its common name,expected size,deciduous,climber or evergreen,available colours,flowering period,berrying period,a varieties description,info on site and soil,pruning info,propagation info,a colour photograph and a colour drawing.Now pardon my sarcasm but short of actually planting the shrubs for us I don't think there is much more that Dr.D.G.Hessayon can do!!

Also in this series are :The tree and shrub expert,The bulb expert and The lawn expert and these I can wholeheartedly recommend I'm aware of about 15 others but haven't read them, I would suspect an information overlap in there somewhere or am I being cynical.Anyway this ones well worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Flowering Shrub Expert, 28 Aug 2008

By	Ryan Judd (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I dont know what I would do with out this book when it comes to shrubs.
A must have when planting as gives straight forward information and the ideal location and the space needed when fully grown.
Gives very clear basic hints and tips when it comes to pruning and mulching.
I have lent this book to many friends who have shrubs that they are not sure about and they have all said what an easy to read book yet so informative.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Flowering Shrub Expert, 6 Nov 2009

By	R. Riggall - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This series of books are excellent in gaining detailed horticultural information for the species included. Information such as site, soil type and positioning enable your chosen plants to flourish and problems with inherited stock to be easily identified. The plant troubles section is very detailed and also an excellent aid. I have followed the guidance in The Lawn Expert for existing and new lawns for the last 5 years and The Rose Expert for over 15 with spectacular results. They are not books filled with garden designs, more essential reference manuals and always my first port of call when searching for more information!The Flowering Shrub Expert (Expert books)
